Abstract (en)

[origin: US7220094B2] A transfer device for transferring stacks ( 4, 4 a, 4 b , 5, 5 a, 5 b), which have a cylindrical external shape, of products resting on one of their edges between a conveyor ( 1 ) set upstream for advance of the stacks ( 4, 4 a, 4 b , 5, 5 a, 5 b) in a direction (a) transverse to the generatrices of the aforesaid cylindrical shape, and a conveyor ( 2 ) set downstream for advance of the stacks In a direction parallel to said generatrices, or vice versa, the said transfer device being operatively set between said conveyor ( 1 ) set upstream and said conveyor ( 2 ) set downstream. The transfer device comprises at least one gripping assembly ( 3 ) for picking up and conveying a stack. Said gripping assembly ( 3 ) moreover turns, according to a motion of revolution. (C) about a first axis (X), between a position in which it engages a stack ( 4, 4 a, 4 b , 5, 5 a , 5 b), in a position (A) corresponding to an output end of the conveyor ( 1 ) set upstream, and a position (B) in which it releases the stack onto the conveyor ( 2 ) set downstream.
